ELECTRO-PLATING: BASICS - MicroChemicals

Chapter01 MicroChemicals Fundamentals of of : BASICSThe following section would like to explain the physical and chemical basis for electroplating to the extent as it is useful for understanding the following Metal PotentialA Metal in Aqueous SolutionIf a metal is dipped in an aqueous solution (a salt solution, a diluted acid, or only water), some of the metal goes into the solution as positive ions, where the metal is negatively charged by the electrons re-maining left (Fig. 127).The system consisting of metal and solution strives for minimally free enthalpy H = U - T S (U = internal energy, T = temperature, S = entropy). The change in the internal energy aff ects both the lattice energy of the metal atoms required when leaving the solid state and the energy released during the hydration of the dissolved , the greater degree of freedom (= increase in the entropy) of a metal ion in solution previously bound in the solid state, and the stronger localisation (= decrease in the entropy) of the prev
